Owner: "remove the + button from these views". The tile header is now
● name ... ⋯ ⤢ ×. Gone with it, because nothing else used them: the +
menu (openTileAddMenu, closeTileAddMenu and their hooks in closeTileGrid
and the global Escape handler), its "New session in this case" entry and
runInCaseForTiles, the .tile-add-empty rules, the four i18n entries only
the menu showed, and buildTilePickerSessions' exclude argument (only the
menu passed it).
Every other way of adding tiles stays and needed nothing from the menu:
the Tiles button and its right-click picker, Ctrl/Cmd+click on a tab,
dragging a tab onto a tile or an empty slot, "Open group as tiles", and
Run joining the open grid (_joinTileGridFromRun). The picker list, the
cap helper _tileGridLimit and the user-text skip on names are shared and
kept.
Tests: the + menu cases (picker, cap, auto-join, the zh-CN harvest) are
removed; tile-grid-chrome pins the header as exactly ⋯ ⤢ × with no add
menu or runInCaseForTiles left on the app.

Found live in zh-CN: the + menu's session items stayed titled "The grid
holds at most 6 tiles". Each item carried data-i18n-skip on the whole
button to keep the session name as typed, and the translator skips an
element's attributes along with its text. Only the name is skipped now (a
child span, as the picker does), so the title is translated.
The zh-CN coverage test classified a title inside a skipped subtree as
user text, which is how this got past it; such a label is now a failure
of its own ("no UI label sits inside a skipped subtree").

Owner decision 8 ("when I hit the tiles button, open the tiles already!").
A click with the grid closed now opens it straight away, and Ctrl+Shift+G
runs the same function (toggleTileGrid), so the two cannot drift. What
opens comes from one pure helper, tileGridOpenSet (constants.js):
a. the grid this tab last had, if any of its sessions survive, opened
exactly (an open split closes and its sessions do not join);
b. else an open split's two sessions, Pane A focused;
c. else the open sessions in tab order (the picker's list: no detached
ones), up to what the grid takes here (the cap of 6, fewer when the
window fits fewer), the active session always among them and focused.
A click with the grid open still closes it.
The picker moved to right-click (oncontextmenu, browser menu suppressed).
With the grid open it is preselected with the current tiles, and Open
replaces them. Ctrl/Cmd+click on a tab with the grid closed opens the
toggle's set plus that session. The button's title, the Help modal and
the wiki say right-click chooses which sessions.
Docs: decision 8 and an as-built entry in the spec (Entry points too),
CLAUDE.md, the invariants (#tile-grid, Opening), the wiki's Tile Grid and
Keyboard Shortcuts pages.

Every Run path makes each session it created visible through
_ensureCreatedSessionVisible and then selects the first one, a human
selection that used to leave the grid for the single view. That helper now
hands the new session to _joinTileGridFromRun: with the grid open it joins the
next free slot, so Run's selection focuses its tile. No Attach overlay flashes
on it while Run starts its pane. Sessions created elsewhere (agents, other
devices, cron) arrive only by session:created and never join; a grid already
holding what the window fits does not take it, and a hint says the new
session opens on its own.
A tile's + adds "New session in this case": the normal Run (current run mode)
for the case the tile's session belongs to, with the toolbar's case put back
afterwards; the session it creates joins the grid like any Run from this tab.
Disabled for a session outside every case.

A Tiles button beside Split in the header, opt-in through the per-device
showTileGridButton setting (read in applyHeaderVisibilitySettings; the
settings checkbox, displayKeys membership and schema exclusion follow with
persistence) and hard-gated like Split: hidden by its --hidden marker, a JS
width check with a live media listener, a @media (max-width: 1179px) backstop
and never in a solo window. While the grid is open the button closes it and
reads as pressed.
Closed, it opens a picker: a checkbox per open session in tab order (never one
popped out to its own window; one with no PTY is offered, its tile shows the
Attach overlay), names as text, preselected with the grid this tab last left,
else the active session and an open split's two. Boxes past what the window
can fit are disabled with the count shown, and Open opens the grid on the
checked sessions, focusing the active one if checked. Escape and an outside
click close it; its close method is idempotent and the global Escape handler
calls it.
A tile's + lists the open sessions not yet tiled; picking one adds it and
focuses it (a human selection). A grid that already holds what the window fits
disables the entries. "New session in this case" waits for auto-join.
